Summary
Michel Vuijlsteke is a Senior UX Designer and UX/front-end lead based in Ghent with 13 years of professional experience designing interfaces, information architecture and usability for large-scale and complex systems. He currently shapes user experiences at Ghent University and runs Zog.org, bringing a mix of hands-on design, training and strategic UX coaching to public and enterprise clients including EUROCONTROL and major European agencies. His background spans product ownership, service and system design, and project leadership, which helps him translate complex domain requirements into usable, scalable interfaces. Michel’s work is informed by a long history in web and multimedia dating back to the 1990s and a curious appetite for “interesting” projects that offer learning opportunities—he’s also an avid photographer, which influences his attention to visual detail.
